The battle for supremacy in the coun ty between tho Lenahan and Garman factions Is being waged liercely. Of tho eighteen delegates from Luzerne county to the state convention, the Lenahanites have captured three in each of tho First and Sixth districts, while tho Garman ites won in and Third. Tho Fourth Is claimed by the Lenahanites, and in tho Fifth both factions have elected three delegates each. Foster Democrats aro putting up a strong fight for their ticket in that township. The nominee for tax col lector, Erasmus Snyder, of Upper Le high, is well booked in local politics and has a united party behind him and his colleagues. Every district in tho township promises to do well for the entire ticket. Hugh Malloy. tho Democratic candi date for tax collector, is out working for a complete victory for himself and the whole ticket, and when Mr. Malloy goes to work in politics there is trouble browing for the other fellows—as elec tion figures In past years in Foster and Freeland abundantly prove. The Democrats made no mistake in choosing John F. Boyle as their candi date for burgess. A sober, industrious young man, qualified in every respect to be the chief executive of the town, Is what the people want, and Mr. Boyle fills every requirement. Henry Hnineman, tho Democratic nominee for poor director, served In that capacity during tho years 1882-83- 84 and made an Ideal director. Ho will be woll supported in this end of tho county. A convention to choose delegates to tho next state convention will be hold at Hazleton on tho 26th Inst, by the Democrats of the Fourth district. Ex-Represcntatlvo James A. Sweeney, of Hazleton, is mentioned as a probable Democratic candidate for the legisla ture. Ex-Congressman W. 11. Illnea and District Attorney Martin aro candidates for the Democratic nomination for judge. Body of llero Coining Home. Colonel Babcock, of the adjutant general's department of the United States army, sent word to Freeland yes terday that the remains of John J. Boylo loft San Francisco Saturday evening for Freeland. They were shipped via tho Wells-Fargo Express Company and should arrive here the latter part of the week. Mr. Boylo was a member of Company D, First Nebraska Volunteers, and was serving with his regiment in thePhilip piiios when he was killed in a battle near Malolos in March, 1899. He was 28 years of ago and was a native of Eck ley. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Boyle, of that town, but was loft an orphan when quite young. He was raised by his uncle, Cormac Keeney, now a resident of Wilkes barro, with whom he resided until seven years ago, when he went westward. At the call for volunteers to fight Spain, young Boyle promptly responded, join ing the Nebraska regiment. He met his death In one of tho first battle waged against the Filipinos. Ho is survived by two brothers, Patrick J. and Ber nard Boyle, both of Philadelphia. The remains of Boyle, with 136 others, arrived at San Francisco last week In sealed caskets from the Philippines. The relatives of the young man requested the war department to send the remains here and tho request was granted. The Interment will be made in St. Ann's cemetery. Oakdaie Mine Give* Up the Dead. The remains of John Trivis, one of the men caught under the fall of rock and mud in the No. 4 Oakdaie workings Monday morning, were recovered by the rescuing party shortly before mid night Thursday night. The body was found near the place where the fall occurred. Death must have been In stantaneous, The remains were taken to Hazleton, where the unfortunate man resided. At 3.30 o'clock Friday afternoon the body of Herman Poper was found. Deputy Coroner Bowman has em paneled the following jury to investigate the death of the two men; James Sweeney, Con O'Donnell, Henry Ziegler, Thomas Philips, James Durkin and D. A. Thomas. No More Trip* to Laurytown. Deputy Register Hiram P. Kuntz, of Hazleton, has been appointed return judge by tho court to receive the returns of tho poor district election. Mr. Kuntz will act in conjunction with William Yeager, of Mauch Chunk, a Democrat appointed by the Carbon county court. The day following the election Mr. Kuntz will go to Wllkesbarre and get the returns for poor director and poor auditor for all districts In the Luzerne end of the district. Mr. Yeager will go to Mauch Chunk and get the returns from that end. Then both will meet at the Laurytown almshouse and count tho vote, thus doing away with the custom of having all the election judges go to Laurytown with the vote. FIRE ALARM KEYS. Name* of Thou© Who Have Keen Denig nated by Council to Have Them. Another meeting of the borough council was held on Thursday evening. The report of tho fire committee on the G&roewell alarm system was accepted, and an ordinance providing for tho erection of the same passed three read ings. Another ordinance, providing for the erection of the new borough build ing, also passed finally. The printing committee was authorized to have the same published three times in one Free land paper. The lire alarm keys were ordered to be placed as follows: Box 23, Washington and Luzerne streets—Jacob Sosnowskl, Mrs. Jane DeFoy, Patrick Mcehan. Box 24, Ridge and South streets—J. F. Sweeney, A.

Three general alarm keys aro to be given to the chief of police, chief of fire department and the person who shall be employed to take care of the boxes. Keys to release the alarm keys will be carried by the chief of police and the person who shall be employod to take care of the boxes. Asa Rute was chosen by council to attend to the system and take care of the boxes, and tho printing committee was ordered to procure signs stating where the keys may be found. The system will go into effect today. Tho following bills woro ordered paid: J. W. Slattery, painting Fourth Ward Fire Company building, 815; George Schwabe, flagstone, 99c; Press, printing contagious disease notices, 35; Elmer Salmon, surveying new building site. 310; Bernhard Dinn, labor on streets. Condition of Col Trad*. The anthracite trade has not mater ially improved any since our report last Monday. It is not by far in as good condition as recently, owing to the much reduced demand. Cutting of prices is quite general and contracts below the circular rates aro being made, notwithstanding protestations to the contrary from local interested parties. The circular price at the mines for pea coal is 31.75 per ton, and contracts have been made at 31.35; stove and chestnut is listed on the circulars at 32.95, and contracts are quite frequently made at 82.70 to 82.80; broken, which is quoted on the trust's agreement at 82.45, is being sold as low as 82.15. Among the large retail dealers in the cities it is firmly believed that prices will go lower. Official preliminary estimate of the hard coal production for January is 4,455,000 tons. Mix-up in thu Upper End. The nominations in the townships of Plymouth, Wilkesbarre, Plains, New port and Marey are so confused that serious trouble is feared at the coming elections. These townships are the ones affected by the new law providing that townships of a certain size should be governed by five commissioners, and that no supervisors should bo elected. Supervisors were nominated in some of them, hut the county commissioners re fused to allow them to file their papers. Learning, however, that the law was to ho tested, the county commissioners changed their minds and accepted nomination papers for supervisors. By that time it wus too late to get all the nominations on file, and several nomi nees are not on the ticket. The validity of tho law is to be tested, and if it is declared unconstitutional some of the townships will be without supervisors. LicenHe Court Tlilm Week. License court began at Wilkesbarre this morning. The cities and boroughs of the county have presontod the fol lowing number of applications for retail licenses: Wilkesbarre, 151; Plymouth, 84; Nantlcoke, 75; Freeland, 61; Hazle ton, 46; IMttston, 43; Edwardsville, 35; Luzerne, 31; Exeter, 22; Swoyervilie, 22; West Hazleton, 21; Ashley, 19; Kingston, 18; Parsons, 15; Miners Mills, 11; White Haven, 10; Wyoming, 10; Sugar Notch, 10; West Wyoming, 7; Avoca, 6; Ilughestown, 6; Warrior Run, 6; Shickshinny, 5; Forty Fort, 2; Ncs copeck, 2; Dallas, 1; Laurel Run, 1. MINERS AND EMPLOYERS. COAL OPERATOR HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ON THE SUBJECT, Call. Upon Thoughtful anil I'atrlotlc Man to View the I>ali|ter. Incident to Vaiit Combination. of Capital and Wealth—Exorbitant I'rice of Puwder. John C. Haddock, a prominent coal operator who has largo Interests in the Wyoming region and who is one of the leading members o( the Anthracite Al liance, an organization formed by in dividual operators to resist the aggres sions of the coal trust, in a recent issue of the Wllkesbar.re Record, has the fol lowing interesting communication: "In explanation of the advertisement which appeared In your paper offering a reward for authentic Information touching an alleged agreement which was made many years ago, Involving at that time an adjustment of the rate of wages, and the price of powder, allow me to say that it is incident to an in quiry which Is now being made as to the economic conditions which surround the mining of anthracite. "As you are aware, in the conductor the mining operations it has been the custom and practice of the mining com panies to furnish powder to the miners for blasting purposes. It Is alleged by the miners that the price charged car ries with it an extravagant and EXTORTIONATE PROFIT. "The mining companies and colliery operators justify the price and profit on the ground that the price of powder entered Into the determination of the rate of the wage scale, under an agree ment which was made twenty-five or thirty years ago. "Tho Anthracite Alliance wishes to obtain, If possible, from the miners or their representatives, precise and def inite information concerning that agree ment. Should it be found as a result of the inquiry that the powder agree ment Is inequitable and unjust in its relation to tho wages paid at the pres ent time, it is the purpose of our organ ization to use every legitimate influence and effort to secure a modification of tho agreement and a reduction in the price. Tho Anthracite Alliance is vitally Interested in ail that concerns tho woi faro and development of tho anthracite Industry, and It fully realizes that If harmonious and profitable relations are to exlsit between mine employe and employer the wages the compensation for services, must be JUST AND EQUITABLE. "It is notorious that tho profit from the salo of powder is from 75 to 100 per cent. That fact requires explanation and justification, and It cannot be made any more palatable to the public or to the miners by assuming a lofty or dic tatorial attitude when complaint is about to be made of the extortion con tained in that profit. It Is apparently admitted that the miner or employe has a right to present a grievance to his employer. It Is conceded that any number of employes may unite and dele gate one or more of their number to present their compaints to an employer. "Now, if that is admitted, why should there be any abridgement of the right or privilege to have a complaint or cause represented by any party or or ganization, who can do so courteously, intelligently and effectively? Is not the denial or abridgement of this right A XIOST DANGEROUS EXERCISE of arbitrary power, and will it not be justly construed as a challenge that must finally be accepted by the miners, and provoke the very contention that should be avoided? "The anthracito carriers do not deny this right to locomotive onglnecrs or to trainmen. They do not Insist that tho parties presenting a grievance from these branches of the service shall be their immediate employes, and why should there be any discrimination against the miner? Surely his work re quires an equal amount of skill and courage, and the risks incident to his occupation are as great, if not greater, than those of tho railway employe, and those risks are constantly Increasing. "Does not the fact that the charge for powder, having been silently and pa tiently borne by tho miner for many years without effective resistence, jus tify the suspicion and belief that he roallzes that tho most profitable em ployment, the "best places," aro not re served for complaining miners? Has there not been a quiet but EFFECTIVE TERRORISM dominating the labor situation In the anthracite regions, that has silenced any attempt to give expression to the sufforlng Incident to the wrong that has been so flagrantly perpetrated? "Can we not imagine some miner modestly and courteously requesting an advance In the rato of wages or a re duction in the price of powder, and some officer, the embodiment of blatant arrogance, bawling out, "Well, if you don't like It you can stop!" While, happily, the influence of tho miracle of venality and rudeness is passing out of railway management, nevertheless has has It not typified and Illustrated too I often the attitude and policy of the GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

"Is there any escape from the conclu sion and conviction that the exaction of 75 to 100 per cent of profit in the sale of powder and the imposition of confiscatory rates of transportation upon the shipment of coal by the Inde pendent operator are all in keeping with the system of extortion that has worked untold injury to the anthracite trade, and calls for the most determined resistance on the part of all citizens who are interested in the permanent welfare of the anthracito regions? "Fortunately, this work of extbrtion and confiscation has been done so well, it has been so arbitrary and violent in its methods and complete in its results, that it illustrates vividly and tragically all the dangers incident to the vast combinations of capital and wealth, and give pith and point to the fears that is now finding expression among thought ful and patriotic men.
